This is a good post, makes one think.

When I was active duty and the very few times that we were issued rifles and assigned a sand dune, I wasn't really scared, just highly alert as we peered out into the night (it always happened at night and was mostly just nomads cutting across the base).

The "shakes" and the "feeling" didn't happen until afterward (the chemical dump I guess).

Thank goodness that it wasn't more serious then what it was. We had a guy here in Eugene that made a good shoot. I overheard him tell the guy at the local gun shop that when it happened, he just went into survival mode (seeing the gun (so clearly he made out the inlaid emblem on the grip)), drawing and firing.

It wasn't until it was all over that he went into shock and second guessing his actions.

Too bad the security guard didn't have a rifle in a rack, that would have been a better shot that could have ended it all.
